Edward Allan Baker's one act play DOLORES is presented with passion and pathos and a dose of hilarity at the Old Fitz Theatre.

Growing up in a blue-collar family in Rhode Island, sisters Dolores and Sandra both dreamt of a life more meaningful, far from the home they grew up in. Now adults, both women are dependent on men and both are vulnerable. Sandra has settled for security within the safety of domesticity, whereas Dolores has used her sexuality as currency in the pursuit of a more exciting life. On an unexpected Sunday afternoon, both sisters share a moment of revelation. Dolores takes audiences on a journey that explores universal themes of family, love, relationships and resilience as well as the darker aspects of domestic violence.

Harold Gray, the original creator of the cliff-hanging comic strip that features the pupil-less girl known as 'Little Orphan Annie', may be just a footnote in history, but most people are aware of the musical adaptation, ANNIE, of his creation that premiered in 1977. Even though it was reworked a couple of years ago, that version is not the one that's currently on tour. I didn't see it, so I have no clue what was changed, but I do know that this charming and delightful work by Thomas Meehan, with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, still maintains its humor and heart with its heroine's search for love and acceptance during the darkest days of the depression.
